Westfall The Honorable John J. Walton Attorneys: J. Bryan Jackson, Cedar City, for Appellant Scott Garrett and G. Tyler Romeril, Cedar City, for Appellee ----- Before Judges Bench, Davis, and McHugh. PER CURIAM: Murphy Lee Williams appeals his convictions and sentences for various crimes. Williams's counsel filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 783 (1967), and State v. Clayton, 639 P.2d 168 (Utah 1981). The brief "objectively demonstrate[s] that the issues raised are frivolous." State v. Flores, 855 P.2d 258, 260 (Utah Ct. App. 1993) (per curiam); see also Dunn v. Cook, 791 P.2d 873, 877 (Utah 1990) (stating that an Anders brief must demonstrate any "potentially meritorious" issues are actually frivolous). Based upon our independent examination of the record, we determine that the appeal is, indeed, wholly frivolous, and accordingly, we affirm the decision of the district court and grant counsel's motion to withdraw. ______________________________ Russell W.
